Always a pleasure to be back at @OhioStateATI! Thanks for allowing me the time to talk Integrated Pest Management and field scouting with the students today!
Always a great day @CFAES_OSU Wooster Campus when we get to host @IPMPestScout for class! Frank provided feedback to @OhioStateATI students' crop scouting reports & spoke on IPM practices in a variety of crops. We then headed outside for some insect scouting!

This year for the @ocj_ohioagnet and @OSU_Agronomy #OhioCropTour I was back in some corn fields north of Wooster in Wayne County. Yield estimates came in at 214 bu/A, and overall crop health was observed to be good, with just a few small flare ups of disease and insect pressure.

Potato leafhopper life cycle in alfalfa.
Scout weekly after the first harvest. Plant resistant alfalfa and use informed insecticide application.
Check with your local land grant Extension for threshold info.

Another report of downy mildew on cucumbers, this time in Wayne County, OH. Absent a prolonged dry spell, downy mildew looks to be a headache for OH cucurbit growers this season. See u.osu.edu/miller.769. Map is posted on cdm.ipmpipe.org.

It was an absolute pleasure to share time today with @nactateachers learning about the Amish and Mennonite heritage of Wayne and Holmes Counties! A visit to Behalt and the Amish Heritage Center, followed up with stops at the Mt. Hope livestock auction and Farmers Produce Auction!
